.j« ute the Tteweft Sbiverittgs ran through Kim ; bis Eyts would sirst Roll andthen ser, as il ready to Start out oF his Head; but above all, the Svielltngand LuBation at his Breaß was if he would Burit, which went off withaprodigious Sigb. All this 1 judge? the eFFects of the Heart Labouring te dis-charge it-self of the Stagnaung Blood , and the Ntrvous Cemvulßons as Con-scquents thcreof. And I am the more Confirm’d in this, from wbat I fawin a Wurmn that was Bit also with a Mad-Dog in the Leg, and feil ill thevery Day that flie paid th c Chirurgion for her Cure: and notwitbstandingall that could be done, growitig Worse, they sent for me. I went, andfound her with what is call’d Hydrophobia : She would look earnestly afterDrink or fVater, and seem’d to Desire ir, but as soon as (he began to Drink,awayit went, be what it would, with the greatest Violence ihe could poJ-sibly Fling ir. * 1 gave her the Vomit hereafter and also beforc-mention’d,but she got but little of it Down, and I had no more with me; never-thelesi it so Brotight her to her seif, that she could Answcr Questions, andI asked her, whether she was afraid of the Drink and Water, when flieFlung the Cups in that Violent manner from her? She seid, No;but when she Offer’d to Drink her Ereafi and Heart would not lether.

I asked, whether through any Aversum or Fear ? She said, No she wasvery Thirsty; but when Ihe offered to Drink it struck to her Hearr, andstopp’d her Breath. That is as I apprehend, the Cold Drink paffing downthe Thront struck a Cbilnefs in the Blood, and made it readier to Stagnate-.befides, the very AB of Drinking , hindring the frte Breathing , Conducedalso much thereto: and therefore the Heart was so soddenly Opprefled, thatshe could not forbear Flinging away what ever flie*had in her Hand. SheComplained also of a great Rigour and Stiffnesi or Straitnefs of the Mufcletof her Breaß , so that Poffibly the Sptrituous Liquor that tlows in the GenusNervofitm may be C cngtaled as well as the Blcod; or the tarne Effects may beSupposed, notwithstanding, to be die Refolt of the Condensed Blood Clog-ging both the Heart and Lungs, so that the Breaß may leern to b« straitned.therewith. The sinne I judge to be the Causo ofall the Violent Luxationi inthis Gentleman, whose Fingers 1 look’d on, and found the Places whcrebe had been formerly Bit turn’d Blacktß, and much Inflamed about them,which Confirmed me in rny Sentiment, that it was a Relapse of his formerDistempcr; that is, of th eßite of the Mad~Dog. I gave bim the Former Vo-rmt of Volatile Salti, and he fliortly after Cried, This Fellow in Black hasdone me Good, and alter the Firß Vomit came so to himself, as to knowus all. I Vemited him every other Day with this Vomit for z times, andmade him in the Interim to take Volatile Salt of Amber, and the aforesaidPowders, aad toWafh hisHands, and Sores in a strong Salt-Brine ; to DrinkPosiet-Dünk with Sage anet Rue, and by this Course and the BleflingofGodhis Lite was saved, and he perfectly Cured, for it is now 4 Tears since, andbe has had no Rslapst.
